A vintage recognized as an EXTRAORDINARY vintage, one that a winegrower has few chances to see in a lifetime. For Vigneron Winemaster Pierre Seillan, this has been one of the top vintages of his career working in Bordeaux, after 1982 which was also an famous year. After a relatively dry winter, everything was linked to the perfection: blooming, véraison, and weather conditions up until harvest which started on September 26 until October 11. This is a vintage that will be remembered and consumed for many years to come.Deep, dark color. Very expressive nose, cashews, oregano; plums, cherry preserves, mirabelles. In the mouth, charming, strong, strong aromatics with a superb acidity. Rich, intense; complex, long, with very round tannins and a long finish.

The village is located on the right bank of the river Dordogne, next to the town of Libourne, in the Bordeaux viticulture area. It is said that the tradition of winemaking in Saint-Émilion goes back to Roman occupation of the area. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausone lived in a villa on the present site of the Grand Cru with the same name. The village takes its name from a monk named Émilion who took refuge in the 8th century in a cave in the area. The village of Saint-Émilion and its vineyards are part of the Unesco World cultural heritage.
